Pumpkin

I have one little pumpkin with a beautiful flickering heartbeat!

And up close here it is again!

Little pumpkin is measuring right on time at 6 week 4 daysish with an estimated due day of Oct 31st or Nov 1st!

Although I was suppose to have my eight week full physical done in two weeks, they went ahead and did it today. I started off with a sky high blood pressure as normal and had to wait again to do it a few minutes later when it returned to a normal range. Then I had to strip and get poked and prodded all over including ears, mouth, nose, lungs, breast exam, in addition to a whole infectious disease panel. Hmm, haven't I already done these? Yeah.

Of course I broke out in a sweat and then felt woozy sitting up on the table...then nauseous. The midwife who will be doing all of my ultrasounds in the OB clinic is completely sweet grey haired lady who is a former colonel and also a physician's assistant. She suggested B6 three times a day to help with the nausea which I'm hoping will help return me to my former non-lumpish self.

Registration Done!

This morning I went to my registration appointment with about eight other ladies. Surprisingly I didn't feel out of place with the other pregnant women, but I did feel old at the ripe old age of 33. The nurse gave us a brief run down on what we can expect and then inundated us with books/planners/magazines (see below).

We then were able to schedule the typical eight week appointment where a head to toe physical is done, and we are poked and prodded just a little bit more. The nurse was super sweet and agreed to take care of my extra ultrasounds in the clinic on their little machine. I'm not sure what little entails, but I just want to see a heartbeat and make sure there is only one bun in the oven. We're going on Thursday, and what's even better is that hubby does get to come! Whoot!

The horrible part of this morning was that after I scheduled my appointment, I had to go downstairs for my urine sample and blood work. Of course, I was feeling a bit nauseous by this time and then had to go have the vampires suck my blood. I must have turned green as the lab girl asked me if I was okay at least four times. Before I could actually drive, I had to sit in my car, drink some water and let the cold sweat die down. Happily hubby surprised me by showing up at the shop I had to stop at to pick him up some uniform junk so we could have lunch together. A sprite and two chicken tacos later, I was feeling more like a normal person.

Now, only two more days to wait. Yay!
